Seminar 54 -- The Process for Zero Energy Multifamily Buildings: The Next ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guide

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Multifamily is one of the largest growing commercial building sectors. For the past year, ASHRAE, with AIA, USGBC, and IES, have been working on an Advanced Energy Design Guide for multifamily buildings. The session will focus on the EUI targets focusing on the selection and design of the HVAC systems. It will also cover lighting, plug loads, and envelope design as it applies to the HVAC system to ensure that the multifamily can be built to the zero energy target. How-to tips and practical advice will be presented as well as successful zero energy case studies.
